OxL Reference

Introduction

This document is the standard of the Oxwald Link (OxL) language, edition 2027, version 1.0. The compiler oxlc, the runtime and the oxl utility are developed against it. Parts I–III are normative; parts IV–V and appendix B are informative. Appendix D — the list of "implementation-defined" items — is normative as far as the items themselves are concerned; the "this implementation" descriptions in it and in the notes are informative.
